It’s where the world’s first million pound deal was struck during the city’s industrial heyday (equivalent to over £100m today). Yet far from cherishing this building, Cardiff council proposes to demolish the main body of the building, keeping only the facades. If this happens, then the magnificent interior with its immense historical significance will be lost forever. This grade 2* listed building deserves better, and the views of the public need to be heard. The Council have been claiming for the past year that it is on the point of collapse. No works have been done, yet there is no apparent evidence that the building is about to collapse. It is questioned if Cardiff Council were able to use section 78 powers under the building act to progress their plans, and this needs to be investigated openly. So much of Cardiff Bay’s social and built heritage has already been destroyed; it seems inconceivable that more can be cast aside with cynical abandon. It’s unclear why the council refuses to see the value of restoring the Coal Exchange to protect this iconic building for the use and enjoyment of future generations.

P113 : CONSERVATION AREA APPRAISALS: MOUNT STUART SQUARE & PIERHEAD, DRAFTS FOR CONSULTATION The Chief Strategic Planning & Environment Officer sought comments on the draft Mount Stuart Square & Pierhead Conservation Area Appraisals. The Mount Stuart Square Appraisal had recommended two minor boundary extensions to include the Cardiff Bay station building to the north of the existing Conservation Area boundary, which was now a Grade II* listed building, and Dock Lane to the east of the existing Conservation Area boundary, which was a pedestrian footpath running to the east of Bute Street, and which is enclosed by cast iron railings, which are listed. The Pierhead Appraisal had recommended the following amendments to the existing Conservation Area boundary (a) the inclusion of Graving Docks 2 and 3, their docksides, and the adjacent Powerhouse building; (b) the inclusion of the Techniquest building; (c) the inclusion of the rear spaces of Nos 5 to 12, Bute Crescent; (d) the re-definition of the North-East boundary to include all of the public space around Roald Dahl Plass, and in front of and south- east of the Senydd building; the Senedd building itself; the Wales Millennium Centre; and their surrounding public space; and (e) the re-definition of the Southern boundary to include the two listed signal platforms associated with the former docks and to achieve the complete inclusion of the two ‘pier’ structures.
